XUnable to access iTunes Store
I keep getting the message "We're sorry, we cannot complete your request on the iTunes Store at this time. Please try again later" when I try to download an App from the iTunes Store. I just upgraded to Lion 10.7.3 last night, and synced my MobileMe account to iCloud. I was able to install apps from my iPad after. Tonight, when I tried to download an app from the iPad, I got the message "Cannot Access iTunes Store." I tried to download an App from my MacBookPro, thinking it was the iPad, but no luck either.
Well, as far as I can see, no one has responded to this question. Nor do I see any solutions mentioned in other questions by folks having the same problem. So I can only assume that there IS no fix.
Oh well, I know that one user is just "small potatoes" as far as the iTunes Store is concerned, but they've just lost this frequent little revenue stream - their loss, Amazon's gain.
Good-bye iTunes store - it was fun while it lasted...

"Accessing iTunes Store" box pops up every time I click on something new on itunes
When I open itunes it automatically tries to connect to the itunes store but the "connecting to itunes store" status bar keeps popping up even after it has connected. I'm unable to navigate the itunes store without this status bar popping up. I've updated to the latest version of itunes (currently version 10.3.1 for mac) and the same problem occurs.
I haven't had any luck with the itunes store after uninstalling and reinstalling the software. I've also tried to "deauthorize this computer" and then "authorize this computer" to try and fix the glitch- but everytime I try and sign into my account I get this message: "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes Store". It then takes me to another screen to review my account. But when I'm brought to the new screen my session times out and I can't review anything.
I'm going around and around in circles and it's becoming very frustrating. Does anyone have any other possible solutions???
I'll give a step by step breakdown of what's happening..
I open the itunes store.
Accessing itunes progress bar at the top of the window loads the itunes
store and after it loads there is still a top window that says
'accesing itunes store' with a 'stop' button option which stays open
for aprox. 1 minute after page is loaded.
I sign in with my account and password.
A dialouge box appears that says, "This Apple ID has not yet been used
with the itunes store. Please review your account information.
cancel or review option boxes.
I click review.
Accessing itunes store progress bar appears in the upper part of the
window as well as in a seperate window box like before and this box
stays open after page has loaded like before.
The window box goes away and the window says, "Welcome to the itunes
store; To begin creating your apple id click continue".
I click continue.
A new window appears and says, "your session has timed out. Try
again". option to click a box marked 'done'.
...And this takes me back to square one.Did you ever resolve the question?
I have exactly the same complaint and your question has 338 views - which leads me to believe our question is not unique. -
I could not open I-tunes. I had used it a week before but it was spotty and then eventually it would not open at all. I uninstalled it then downloaded it. I restarted the computer. When I tried to open itunes, I got a message "ITunes match. Accessing iTunes store" and it does not go beyond that. I've tried this process twice. I had my Norton support service do a tuneup and they downloaded iTunes but it will still not work. help!
Hello SharlaCerr,

I own a Windows 7 computer. I can get into itunes okay, and I can get into the itunes store okay. After I am in the store, a box keeps appearing that says "Accessing itunes store". It goes on and off. I am able to navigate when the box is not showing. If I try to download music, I get to the point where I need to agree to the agreement contract, then says "Session Timed Out." I have the latest versions of itunes and all my Windows Updates. What can I do about this?
I was struggling with this since my latest Itunes update. Fiirst it would not recognize my IPad as a device, after correcting that, it would list the Ipad in my device but my Sync had no options (summry, info, etc). and it kept saying it was "Accessing Itunes store". reading your question I suddently tried deleting the itunes task (alt-ctrl, delete, processes) and delete Itunes. (By the way, I had rebooted my computer several times over the last few days). I opened up Itunes, and voila. Device is there. No "accessing windows" and my sync has the normal options.
****..feels good to actually write an answer rather than writing a questions.

After upgrading to 11.0.5.5 can't access iTunes store. Temprorarily unavailable all the time. Nothing helps, tried to flash the DNS. Nothing.....
Same issue. I emailed apple and they had me call apple. Not really any help. Did all the troubleshooting listed and to have further help diagnosing problems it isn't free. I explained to the rep that I have seen others having same issues - he didn't know anything about. This is first time I have had problems. I can't even purchase song on my PC but can on my iphone. I just would like to be able to access my account. Afraid to sign out of itunes in case I can't even get to my library etc.

Try going to settings and then iTunes and App Store and logging out and log back in. Make sure the music app is closed while doing this and then open it back up after logging back in and see if the icon has returned.
I'm not sure what you mean, precisely - I opened settings, then I opened "itunes store", then opened "app store", but not sure how to log out, and back in on the phone? I closed them all down again, but still no radio icon, and when I'm in the store and tap the prompt "go to itunes radio" it just brings me to my albums list on the phone. Strange.
Does this make sense? I mean, am I explaining things clearly?
I appreciate the help, this is a pain in the arse. -
I have windows 8.1 and cannot access itunes store even creating a new apple id. With other users on the same computer I can access itunes store. How can I solve this?
i had the same problem before using a fresh install of Windows 8.1. I have resolved this issue by running the program compatibility wizard. This I did by right-clicking on the iTunes icon in the desktop, selecting Troubleshoot compatibility, waited for it to detect compatibility issues and when presented with the following options: 1.) Try recommended settings; 2.) Troubleshoot program, I chose the latter. When asked what problems I noticed, I checked the following: "The program worked in earlier versions of Windows but won't install or run" and "The program requires additional permission"
After that, it tired to resolve the issue, and provided the necessary settings to run iTunes. Now it's running flawlessly. I have Avast anti-virus installed though.

ITunes stuck on "Accessing iTunes Store"
I posted in reply to a thread of complaints about this on the "iTunes for Mac" side but realized my error only afterwards and so am posting this here instead/as well; apologies for repetition, I have no idea what forum etiquette here is.
I'm running Windows 7, downloaded the latest version of iTunes available on the website. Whenever I try to open iTunes I get a dialogue box that says "Accessing iTunes Store" and a loading bar that just goes on and on indefinitely (I let it go on for an hour as an experiment). I can click nowhere else on the iTunes program except the "Stop" button on the dialogue box but then it just says "Canceling..." and goes on doing that indefinitely until I force-quit. I cannot access any part of the iTunes menu while it is unsuccessfully attempting to access the iTunes Store. I've tried to open the program with "Run as Administrator" with the exact same result of teeth-gnashing failure. The program is therefore completely non-functional and while I can still charge my old iPod, I cannot use iTunes to access any of the content ... which is unfortunate because the iPod itself is bugging out in an unrelated series of problems and probably needs a software update or a lobotomy or something. I've attempted to uninstall and reinstall iTunes a couple of times now with the latest version, with no success there either. I'm not new to this program - I've had my old iPod Nano for years and have used iTunes steadily, if begrudgingly, since about 2007 without serious problems, have used the Store, etc.. This new "Accessing iTunes Store" is a recent development and it is crippling my ability to use the program or the hardware. Oh, and yes, it's the same result with the iPod is physically plugged in to the computer or not.
So how can I go about fixing this? Any help could be appreciated before my faithful-if-slightly-dumbfounded iPod takes a one-way trip to the electronics recycling facility and another company gets to have my money.after trying everything I could find for 2 days, including turning on and off my firewall, my anti-virus program, resetting the winsock, authorize, deauthorize, and on and on I FINALLY saw one post by a guy that uninstalled Real Player and it fixed his problem. That was a new suggestion, so I tried it and guess what? IT WORKED. Thank GOD!!! This is a brand new computer so I was really frustrated. I am running Windows 7 64 bit. Hope the Real Player suggestion helps some other people.

Hi, I can't seem to get my ipod 32gb 4th gen to sync with itunes. It's brand new, but everytime I plug it in it says can't access Itunes store and nothing else happens. I enabled my firewall to allow itunes but it still can't access the store. Please help.
If you look at the feed, and look at the entry 'The end to an exciting field season in Aulavik National Park' you will see the line:
<pubDateFri, 29 Jul 2011 04:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
You have not closed the 'pubdate' tag - there should be a '>' as the 9th character. Because the tag has been left open, it invalidates everything which follows it, and thus the entire feed. iTunes therefore cannot read it, which is why the Store has not updated. Add the '>' and republish, and all should be well.
It's always worth checking your feed by subscribing manually, from the 'Advanced' menu, or by clicking the 'subscribe free' button on the Store page (both do the same thing) - if you can subscribe to the feed it should be OK. -
Can no longer access Itunes store
Sudeenly yesterday I cant access the Itunes store.
When I click on the store, I just see the scrolling barbers pole at the top of the screen and the message ""Accessing Itunes store."" It never gets any further
Ive disabled all my security, ive done the winsock reset and restarted my PC ((many times) I downloaded the LSP list from windows, and the list is huge, with many suppliers listed. It would take days to try and update all of that.
SURELY there is an easier solution to this problem. Clearly Im not the only one having it.
Please help

Can no longer access itunes store to update apps through itunes OR on iphon
I just updated to the 2.2 software on the iphone. Ever since, any time I try to update an application (or even check for updates) I get a message saying itunes can't connect to the store, check my network connection, etc. I get the same problem if I try to check for updates directly from the iphone or from itunes on my computer. I see many people are having problems with the itunes store. I assume that since I am having the same problem on my phone and on my computer, and since so many other people are having problems, that this is some kind of problem with Apple and not with my set up. However, I have not seen anyone else mention problems connecting from their phone the way I am.
Other than upgrading to 2.2 there is nothing different about my system - accept I did also try upgrading to the newest iTunes. The problem happened with version 8 and with whatever the current version is. I am using Vista - I never had any problem like this before.
Any help or comments would be much appreciated.I am also having this problem, i can no longer search for app's updates through the latest release of itunes 8.0.2 and also the latest iphone 3g update version 2.2 - this has been going on for about 15 hrs now. If i try to update through my iphone the the page eventually times out or comes up with "unable to connect to itunes store"., If i try through itunes itself, the windows comes up with the progress bar type thing and accessing itunes store, then after a while just comes up with "iphone sync complete, Ok to disconnect" - but i'm not syncing my iphone i'm trying to update the apps.....

When I turn on my computer, an error message says "AppleSyncNotifier.exe-entry point not found. The procedure entry point xmlTextReaderConstName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dll" Cannot access itunes store, sync phone, etc. Two weeks ago did this and Apple support had me remove and reinstall iTunes. Doing it again. Help....
With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
Copy the libmxl2.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
Reboot and see if all is well
In case that your OS is Windows 7 (64 bit)
1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
2. Copy file "libxml2.dll"
3. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
4. Paste file "libxml2.dll" to the location.
5. Reboot your computer, it should not display that message, it should be clear.

iTunes has never successfully accessed iTunes store.
Any ideas?
ScobieI have iTunes 7.6.1.9 installed. It has been working fine until four days ago. Now, I can no longer connect to the iTunes store. According to the diagnostics data, iTunes thinks I am using a proxy server. That proxy server is what I use when I connect to my corporate LAN via a VPN. I connect off and on, but, it is not my permanent Internet connection. How can I tell iTunes that I am not using my proxy server? Yahoo Music Jukebox and my AntiVirus program also can no longer connect to the Internet. I suspect the proxy server issue with these as well as they have been working fine until a few days ago.

Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Issues connecting to the iTunes Store can be due to multiple causes and not always a simple fix. I would recommend going through each of the steps in the attached articles below. Be sure to test the results after processing each step.
